Sundance Film Festival is now well underway in Park City, Utah – and stars from all around the world are dressed to impress as they promote new projects, films, and attend star-studded parties.
The huge event, which has already seen famous faces like Charli XCX and Alec Bladwin, shares new documentaries and films, among other branded events and speaking engagements.
This year marks the festival’s last in Utah, as it will be moving locations to Boulder, Colorado.
The Sundance Institute, which puts on the film festival, was founded in 1981 by the late Robert Redford, who unfortunately passed away in September.
Redford founded the institute to champion emerging filmmakers and creatives, and it later took off as one of the most important events in the industry.
Even Taylor Swift‘s mom, Andrea, managed to make an appearance this year, as she was spotted linking arms with future in-law Donna Kelce, mom of the pop star’s fiancé, Travis Kelce.
With so many different celebrities attending Sundance, there have already been a myriad of questionable otufits on display.
The Daily Mail has rounded up the worst fashion faux pas from this year’s 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
WORST DRESSED
Caught in the rain or caught at Sundance? Brat hitmaker Charli XCX opted for a strange, two-piece dress while attending the premiere of the film The Gallerist on January 24. She wore a tan-colored tank dress with a plastic, see-through, hooded poncho that looked like she was shielding herself from a storm. The poncho was trimmed with white lace, and she brought everything together with a pair of yellow-tinted, clear heels
Fitting in out West or totally out of place? Ethan Hawke settled on a strange gray suit that featured three large, shining, embroidered birds decorated on the blazer. Underneath, he wore a burnt-orange button-down shirt, accessorizing with a silver bangle and silver rings. He completed the look with a pair of brown dress shoes as he attended the premiere of his new movie, The Weight
Red-y for Sundance, it seems. Actress Molly Ringwald chose a bizarre pop of color to complete her outfit on Monday as she attended the Run Amok premiere. Ringwald paired her silk, long-sleeve polka dot dress with a pair of bright red tights and ill-fitting strappy black ballet flats. She tied it together with a pink-red lip and minimal jewelry
Getting ready for Pasta Night at Olive Garden, or the premiere of The Musical? Actor Will Brill sported a matching pant and puffer coat set on Sunday, which was printed with patterns of bowtie pasta. However, it looked like he was on his way to enjoy a full Italian meal rather than see a movie. Underneath the loud suit, he wore a beat-up yellow sweatshirt, and brought it all together with a pair of worn brown boots
Wrong color! Jenna Ortega donned a skirt suit that resembled a flight attendant’s outfit and left her a little washed her out. The beige outfit featured a pleated skirt and a button-up top that cinched at the waist with a stretchy belt. The outfit was complete with dramatic, layered sleeves and a pair of darker, strappy beige heels
Doing too much in denim! Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Bronwyn Newport was dressed in a head-to-toe jean look on Saturday as she visited the IndieWire Studio presented by Dropbox. She sported a knee-length, patched denim skirt, paired with a matching denim jacket that was decorated with black lace all over. Her knee-high boots matched the look, as they featured black and denim stitching
Blast from the past! I Love LA writer Rachel Sennott looked like she was straight out of an early 1990’s magazine as she attended the premiere of The Moment on Friday, January 23. She wore a cropped, leather-and-fur style moto jacket, complete with a gold chain belt with hearts hanging off of it and flared pants. She carried a black leather bag with gold hardware detailing, and finished off the look with a bold, gold heart locket around her neck
Best dressed:
Actress Olivia Wilde looked stunning in a black lace slip dress as she attended the premiere of The Invite on January 24. The gown featured a slit at the thigh, and a lace bodice. She completed the look with a pair of fun, gray Western-style boots and kept her blonde hair loose and cascading past her shoulders
Effortlessly elegant! Zoey Deutch, who stars in new comedy film Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, looked timeless in a burgundy-colored sweater dress. The gown had a high-neck and loose short sleeves. She finished it off with a thick silver bangle and dangling wire earrings
Comedian Lou Young looked super chic as he attended the Episodic Fiction Pilot Showcase on Tuesday at Sundance. He wore a cropped, black peacoat-style jacket, sharp tie and black dress pants. He completed his look with a black hat, thick black square-lensed sunglasses, and patent leather black dress shoes
Lovely in leather! Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks sported a black, all-leather outfit as she attended The Vulture Spot on Sunday. She wore a simple, black leather skirt, high-neck black blouse and matching leather jacket to the event. The Bravo legend pulled everything together with a pair of black tights and knee-high, black snakeskin boots with a pointed toe
Winter chic! Actress Natalie Portman donned a classic, brown-and-gray tweed coat that featured a v-neck cut. Underneath, she wore a black turtleneck and black suede boots, keeping her classic brown hair down at her shoulders. Portman was attending the premiere of The Gallerist on Saturday
Short and sweet! Film producer Anna Baumgarten looked amazing in a black bedazzled mini-dress that featured pink and green beaded flowers on its hem. She paired the cute dress with a bold, light pink, fur jacket, along with a pair of black suede knee-high boots
Magnificent monochrome! Actress Julia Jones rocked a dark, forest-green monochromatic leather look. Her suit included skinny pants, a tank top with silver buttons going up the front, and a long jacket. She completed the fun look with a pair of black boots and minimal jewelry
